Short description of contents:
In this context, this research aims to investigate the relationship between safety climate and the incidence of injuries and accidents in the work environment. Our hypothesis is that work-related stress mediates this relationship.
Safety climate, safety performance, work-related stress and injuries and accidents in the work environment were assessed in 197 metal workers employed in a company in the north-east of Italy. The workers were mainly men (88.2%), divided into 3 age groups: 15 workers (7.8%) were aged less than 30 years, 108 (56.3%) were from 31 to 50 years, 69 (35.9%) were more than 51 years. The results of the study seem to confirm that work related stress mediates the relationship between safety climate and safety outcomes. A low level of work related stress is connected to a higher safety climate and lower frequency of injuries and accidents in the work environment.
